“Cindy Claes shifts boundaries in dance theatre. (…) Here before our eyes was one woman, doing something truly new and unexpected – a marriage between Dancehall theatre and Hip Hop Dance theatre. There was a light bulb moment. A refreshing witnessing of the new. (…) It was revitalizing. Cindy Claes is revitalizing.” – Gender in Dance by Isaac Ouro – (Review Resolutions, The Place, 2017)
“I was very impressed by her silky movement language, using hip hop, krumping and dancehall as the choreographic building blocks in Things aren’t always black or white. (…) It was powerful stuff, strongly performed by a charismatic dance artist, and full of impressive dramatic changes.” – Londondance by Graham Watts – (Review Resolutions, The Place, 2017)

Chanting Mantra Meditation
Vocal Yoga
Mindful singing / chanting meditation is a powerful way to elevate our energy vibrations.
I love sharing the power of vocal meditations which makes us tap into our highest potential.
Mantras are sound vibrations – or words – which we repeat to support our meditation practice. For example: the shortest mantra in the world is the sound “OM”.
We will do mantras from the Buddhist, Bhakti Yoga and Hawaiian Shamanic Huna traditions. We always sing mantras all together as a group, in unison.
While in silent meditation we often experience the noise-making machines our minds can be; chanting allows us to experience the stillness within by focussing on the music outside of us.
No need to have any previous singing experience! This vocal yoga is accessible to anyone. Benefits of chanting mantras include:
– releasing tensions
– enhanced creativity
– tuning into our feelings and intuition
– feeling uplifted and relaxed
